Cook rice according to package directions. Mix in the other ingredients. Heat slowly until heated thoroughly.
This is a terrific easy dinner recipe for autumn or winter, especially.
Source of recipe: My wife has a book called *The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet" by Nava Atlas. This recipe is a variation on the "Salsa Grain and Bean Pilaf" recipe in that book.

SO HOW'D IT GO?

Mmmm this was so good. I just ate this. I've needed to up my caloric intake by 500-1000 calories and the mixture of beans and rice is always good. I wanted something a bit different and this fit the bill. I made a few modifications though.

I added nutritional yeast, a little bit of Italian seasoning and instead of crushed red pepper I used some mild taco sauce and an enthusiastic couple of drops of extra spicy canyee pepper sauce.
